I'm after some (well a lot) of help from all you stage 1ers.
I did my BHS stages over 20 years ago and at the time there were very specific ways of doing things.
My problem now is that I have a student (daughter of a friend) who is wanting to do her stage 1 - the riding side she will have no problems at all and I have been doing a lot of work with her. I just want to make sure though that I am telling her the right things for her theory and practical as I would imagine (and hope) that some things have changed since I did mine and I don't want to teach her the wrong things eg: skipping out - is this still expected to be done by hand into a skip bucket?
Is the general rule still always tie the horse up if you are in stable on your own?
All the general stuff really, I've downloaded the syllabus, can anyone point me toward the right text books to make sure that I'm telling my student the right things for her exam (we haven't put in for it yet btw)
Thanks all.
